Biography
Rachid Ramda was born on 29 September 1969 in El Ogla, Algeria. He became a supporter of the Islamic Salvation Front when it was formed in 1988, as his literature teacher was one of its co-founders. In 1993, he was involved in an attack on the Algiers airport that killed 9 and wounded 123, and he was granted refugee status in the United Kingdom. Ramda funded and masterminded the 1995 Paris Metro and RER bombings, and the British High Court decided not to turn him over; however, after the 7/7 bombings hit London in 2005, the terror-struck UK decided to turn him over to France. In October 2007, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
